Hi,
Over a period of time, I have been able to solve many problems with my qtek9100. However, these are 2 things, I am still fighting with.
Call Monitor:
I have tried a couple of softwares but none are fully customizable. HudsonMobile Phone Dashboard is good but it allows customizations on total minutes based talk plans. In my country, talk plans are not flat rate /min based. Rate depends which networks I call or where I call. So typically I have to set rules for certain number prefixes to use X rate/min and some to use Y.. so on.
I found a good software for this from Pisiloc software for symbian systems and was happy with it till I used Nokia. But its really getting tough to find one on WM5.
Cell Info
Did someone get this to work so far? I tried the engineering mode and googled around to see what all that information means. However, there's nothing which shows or can be used to find the cell info. Its frustrating to see a nokia show the cell info and this mighty phone not showing it.
Can someone please give me some pointers from here ?
Try phonealarm - has a good call monitor and varying profiles for diff tariffs see here http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
Nicetrack might be what you are after to show cell info see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46803

I hvae tried Nicetrack before. The problem is that you need to collect the cells and name them manually. And cell info that you see are the names you give.
What I was talking about is some software that shows the cell info name from the cell tower. The cell towers of my network have an area name coded with them. This way when I drive, my phone shows me the area I am in, simply by displaying the text from tower its latched to. This is an inbuilt feature in nokias and I know my operator provides it. Just that the wizard doesnt show it. My hunt is still on for such a 3rd party software.

It seems to me you're actually looking for a way to read cell broadcast messages. They're available in WM5 as in every phone around (not only Nokia's). Go to Settings->Phone->Other[tab]->Transmission Channels(enable)->Settings then click New and create a new channel with channelID 050

Hi, thanks for ur reply. I have tried this before. Can you give me a little more help on this feature. Here's what I did
Phone->more[tab]->Broadcast Channels->Settings
Recieve Channel List: unchecked
Language: English
Select items to recieve: (clicked new, channel name: "Info" Channel number 050)
OK
Checked "Info"
OK
So now with this, what should I be seeing and where.
Thanks for ur help in advance

This might be useful for you - engineer mode - i placed a link from gsmtestmode.exe in the \windows directory and got all kinds of cell info.
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36807
There is a Today plugin titled DKToday, which displays cell strength in a four segment bar graph, operator and cell name. However here in Oz (Australia) the cell name works, but it also comes up as a balloon at the bottom of the screen as a notification (annoying). The software author has been unable to stop the balloon appearing. This is on a K-Jam. Yo need to enable cell broadcasts as stated earlier in the posts.
If a fix is found or a new solution is found it will be popular.
[05/27/08] HushSMS - A "Silent" SMS Tool [Version v0.6beta]
HushSMS is a tool to sent a class zero message (aka Flash-SMS) or a stealthy PING message to another cellphone.
The "Silent Ping" enables you to sent a message to another cellphone without the owner getting knowledge about.
The message is discarded on the owners phone and no trace exists. You will get back a message from the operator that your message has been delivered, proving that your message has been received, and thus you can know that the owners phone is switched on.
This is not some kind of hack or whatever. It's a normal function per standard and works on any phone.
Q: Why such a software? A: I regulary need it in my job. Sometimes I have to be sure a specific phone is switched on and I can send information to that phone without it beeing stored (class zero message).
It runs on Windows Mobile 5 and 6 based PocketPCs.
EDIT: A word of warning: If you send a class zero message to a windows mobile device, your number will not be shown. Instead of the senders number, windows mobile will show something like "Network Message".
So in general this tool could be used in a manner it is not intended and designed for. So be responsible!
Usage
-----
Copy the CAB file to your device and double click it.
The program is installed to \Program Files\HushSMS\HushSMS.exe.
There are three functions:
Send a normal SMS
Send a class zero message (Flash-SMS)
Send a stealthy message
- To send a normal sms, leave the checkboxes for "Class 0" and PING unchecked. If you want a receipt enable the "Return Confirmation" checkbox.
- To send a class zero message enable the "Class 0" checkbox and write your message.
- To send a silent PING just enable the "PING" checkbox. There is no need to write something in the Textbox, because the target phone will discard it anyway.
If you enter the number manually you have to enter it in international format (for example starting with +49... for germany).
You can alternately choose the number from your address-book but it has to be in international format also.
The program will pop-up a message box to notify you about the success or failure of the sending process. This message box
might be under an overlaying window if you have other programs open (a file explorer for example).
That's it. Enjoy it, as always it's freeware.

EDIT: v0.2
Download @: http://www.silentservices.de/HushSMS-0.2.CAB
EDIT: v0.3 beta 08.04.2008
See post #87: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2098699&postcount=87
EDIT: v0.3 beta4 15.04.2008
Changes:
- Smartphone UI
- Added PING2 message option
- Added notification bubble (for PPC only)
- Program now quits after message is sent
- small general improvements
As for the PING2 function: I added this for all the people whose provider will automatically transform Type0 messages to normal SMS. This function uses a different method for sending a "silent ping" which should enable all users to send those messages, even on US carriers. The principle is pretty simple: I'm sending a MWI deactivation, which is not shown to the user, and request a status report. If you receive the status report, you known that the "pinged" phone is active.
See Post #103
EDIT: v0.6beta 27.05.2008
New features:
- Additional MWI Messages (except for voice MWI, most of them will not work on windows obile based target phones)
- Added WAP-Push SI (service indication) and WAP-Push SL (service load messages)
See Post #124
This program doesn't seem to work on US-Carriers (except with the new beta4 which enables another method for the "silent ping")
Edit: I've tested the program on the german eplus network, and found out that class0 messages, as well as type0 (The Ping) are converted to normal messages by the SMSC of eplus.
However, it is working as expected on vodafone.de
Thanks a lot I have been looking for program like this for a long time. Will report any glitches.
useful one, great bro
dont work on Artemis (wm6)
error when sending msg. ..
EDIT: owww i forget about country prefixes (f/e +48) now working fine, thanks
Tested on my tytn and it works perfectly.
Quick question...If I send a class 0 sms to normal cellphone like samsung or nokia will my number be shown.
The only extra feature that would be great would be the ability to send a sms to a friend and make it seem as though it came from another friend.....is it possible to do and if so how difficult would it be to implement something like that?
"Silent Ping" funtion dosn't work.
It seems like a class zero message appears on the Nokia cellphone
Before anyone else says it doesn't work: read the first post, you MUST USE COUNTRY CODE.
Ive tested all the features of the app on my tytn and everything works fine.
I never entered the country code and it still works.
I've tested this app and it does everything it says it does, which is cool. When I choose "Class 0" and sent a text message to myself (wm6 device), it read the message, it was from "Network Administrator", and my phone number was not listed. Also, when I enabled just the ping to send a silent message to my other cellphone which was off, it read that the message was sent. When i turned my other cellphone on, (motorola phone. non windows device), my cellphone number was visible. So this works exactly as c0rnholio states.
tried it on my wizard and nothing happens, international format or not. It says message sent but i never get a ping or anything back even to myself
I tried this on my apache as well and had no success. Maybe I don't know how to enter the phone number properly. I also live inside the US and have Verizon if this helps at all.

AFAIK the APache is a CDMA device. Handling of SMS is sligtly different between CDMA and GSM. This program is written for GSM Networks and due to the lack of a CDMA Network and a device which supports it, I cannot make it compatible. Sorry.

It might be that your network opertor is blocking such messages. Have you been able to send class 0 sms in general with other tools?

Interesting. Then your Nokia behaves against the GSM standard. Which one is it?

I fixed that country code stuff in v0.2, which will be out in a few days. You will the be able to send either in international or national format.
My GF Nokia was able to see my number and save the message I sent with class 0 ticked. Seems my operator does not like Class 0 SMS

A class zero message is displayed in general. Also it is right that your number is shown. Some phones are able to save those messages, others are not. So in general everything is fine and your operator supports class zero messages. If you get a class 0 message and to not click on options->save or whatever the procedure is on your phone, the message should be discarded according to the GSM standard.
The number obfuscation only seems to occur on windows mobile based devices. On these, when a class 0 message is comming in the device will not show the senders number but instead show "Network Message" or "Network Administrator". This seems to be a bug in windows mobile and may lead to further attack scenarios because a user may think this message is comming from the network operator. If you send a wap push SI message for example you can embed a link to a webpage, or a link to a cab-file on a webpage. The user might then think this link is from the network operator and click on it. This may lead to mallicious code installation or execution or whatever.
The "Silent Ping" is defined in the GSM standard. It is a kind of message which must be received by the handset and must be directly discarded without user notification. I've tested this with different phones from different manufacturers and it never failed to work, but YMMV.
So your phones behaves in the normal range of operation. Have you tried to send the PING to your nokia? If so, and your nokia shows it, what is displayed?
PING works as advertised - no sign of it at Nokia at all.
works fine on most handsets, but the Nokia display your number.
Nice program
this is somewhat a nice-and-funny program....i like it....though i haven't figured out how the function "Ping" does as i have tried by following the instruction from its official site......weird.....One thing is important to whom may it fail with other functions....pls do remember Enter International Format in a word coutry code....for exampl like me Hong Kong is +852..

Hi!
I have a problems with contacts saved on my phone. When some people call me, the phne doesn't show their names but just their numbers. It's getting quite confusing because I don't know who is calling.
My SIM is empty, so all my numbers are stored in a card. What should I do?
Anyone know something?
Some networks control this feature from their end, so you may have to contact your service provider and find out if 'Caller ID' is enabled on your account. (I know Orange and T-Mobile control this feature from their end).
Yes, this sure is enabled. For some of the numbers the names are shown ok, so there must be some software problem.
I have a new Galaxy S I9000, unlocked version, operating in the US on the AT&T network and although the phone works well, I've noticed two issues:
1. I cannot add new contacts to my sim card (receive a message that says "error saving to sim" or something like that) but have no problem saving to the phone it self.
2. After adding the Accuweather widget, although the weather is reported for the chosen city, the clock face that shows up on the screen does not have the correct time, whereas the phone does. Where does this clock derive its time settings from?
Thank you in advance.
i myself have that problem i cannot save my contacts to sim card. im only getting options to save to phone or google.
can anyone help ???
use apps such as Contact2Sim to copy contacts to sim card,

I don't know what firmware version you're on, but I'm on 2.2.1.
You should open the 'Contacts' app in your Applications drawer (not the phone dialler) and then press Menu softkey, and choose More>Settings. There you can specify where you want to save new contacts to. I've got it set to 'Always Ask' so I can choose at the time, but you can select a default place if you wish.
If you want to save all/some of your existing phone contacts to your SIM, again open the 'Contacts' app, press menu softkey and choose 'Import/Export'>'Export to SIM card'
Remember this applies for 2.2.1, not sure if all this is the same on 2.1 Eclair or 2.2 Froyo.
LIVE TILES/HOME SCREEN:
- Power control toggles (e.g. Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, etc.)
OVERALL
- Marking/selection of any text passage, and
- Copy/paste (wtf, hasn't MS learned anything from the mistakes made by Apple...?)
ALARMS
- Display of alarm icon in the notification area of the 'home screen', when one or more alarms have been set (not ONLY on the lock screen)
PEOPLE
- Ability to save phone number in Call History or Conversations lists to existing/new contact
MEDIA PLAYER
- Sound playback in Bluetooth (+wired?) headphones when watching video content/podcasts
IE BROWSER
- Display of/access to URL in landscape mode
I agree with Copy and Paste, but have only needed it once or twice so am happy to wait until Jan or whenever they're gonna stick it in.
Hadn't noticed the ID landscape thing, but now you've pointed it out I guess they should probably sort that too (although there'd be very little view of the page by the time the keyboard and address bar are displayed in landscape mode)
You can save a number from your call history if you tap it, then at the bottom there's a save button.
The things I'd like to see fixed are:
MAPS
- Get the compass working so I can see what direction I'm walking in
INTERNET EXPLORER
- Ability to change what the search button does, and what page loads when you first start IE after switching the phone on. (T-mobile have managed to set both the homepage and the search button to point to the crappy t-mobile-favourites page, which is a bit annoying)
PICTURES
- See who's tagged in photos (either through Facebook or through Windows Live Photo Gallery)
- Ability to stop photos from Facebook showing up - these may be duplicates from what you've already put on the device
PHONE
- It would be good to have smart dialling available rather than having to go through contacts
One think really annoys me: We cannot disable vibration on back, win and search keys.
Missing Send Contact
I'm not sure if this is missing content or if I'm being too stupid to work it, but that's not my usual style so I'm assuming it's missing till someone puts me straight.
I wanted to send a contact by text (or any other method) today but can't seem to find out how to do this.
Any ideas?
I don't think theres a solution for this.
I heard someone saying before, that there is not a nice way available to send/ copy contact-data.
Bluetooth SIM Access Profile
Anyone know if the Bluetooth SIM Access Profile will be coming in the next update? New phone doesn't work with my bloody car = I feel like I've just stepped back in time
Added the following to the first post:
ALARMS
- Display of alarm icon in the notification area of the 'home screen', when one or more alarms have been set (not ONLY on the lock screen)
Sticky camera settings
CAMERA
--------
I change the settings for the camera every time I take a photo. Particularly the "anti-shaking" setting as I can't seem to take a decent photo with that off. Settings always revert to defaults. Makes you wonder why there is a "Rever to default" option!

I noticed that today, as i also found myself taking better pics with the anti shake on. Other half tried to take a photo of herself and ended up asking me to take the pic, of which i found that setting off....odd
I would like vibrate on screen buttons as well as the hardware buttons.

Switch power off when charging the phone: should have the ability to switch off the phone when it is charging. It is not possible to do it now.
2G/3G toggle: The Omnia & I got from Orange doesn't have the option to toggle between 3G and 2G. It is set for 3G as default
Smart dialing: The dialer should display contacts that match the combination of letters/numbers being dialed
Tasks sync: Outlook should sync tasks in addition to Mail, Contacts and Calendar
Calendars: WP7 should sync all calendars in GMail and Hotmail. It only syncs the default calendar.
My wish list
I'd like:
Folders
Folders - want folders that I can pin items inside, ideally on both main 'Tile' screen and app list. Would really help to be able to organise apps into folders as the list is getting long already.
Volume
Would like different volume controls for Media and ringing. Would like these to be locked when the phone is locked too (unlocking the phone is no hasstle after all).
Caching/Updating
Would like apps like Facebook to cache data (only a few do this). I expect not an OS issue as some apps do it already - having them load from fresh when started is a pain as it means you need signal to look at content. I'd also like these apps to update automatically so content it there when they are opened.
Single Mailbox
Would like a single mailbox for all incoming mail.
Sim Lock
I use a Pin to protect my sim, if I miss entering this in initial boot the phone brings up a home screen but allows Emergancy calls only - getting to a point I can enter the Pin seems pointlessly difficult (seem to have to try and make a call).
Zune
Why is this so unintuitive....get rid of reserved space and clean it up. Content also seems very US centric, online (as in via the website) I can see a load more content than I can see in the app itself, presume this is due to me being in the UK.
Back and Search buttons
Allow apps to lock these buttons, lose count of how many times I have pressed these accidentally when playing a game or a video which gets really annoying.
Power button
Give me a 'do you want to shutdown' prompt, only found my phone turned off in my pocket a few times but not had it that long....the button is too easy to press accidentally and a prompt would solve a lot of these problems.

Orange provide this functionality for me by giving no 3G signal at home, would be better if I could choose to turn it on and off though...reliable 2G at home would also be good...
PEOPLE
- Ability to save phone number in Call History or Conversations lists to existing/new contact
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can do that.
Just in Call History press the phone number that want to save and then press the Save icon.
my wishlist:
1. PHONE:
- matching contacts should appear when dialling number or texting person's name
- call recording possibility would be a nice touch.
2. PEOPLE huB
- more customisation options (contacts sources sorting/hiding
3. MESSAGING:
- ability to edit MMS settings (MMS APN, default photo size, etc)
4. EMAIL/CALENDAR HUB:
- I do not like the idea of LIVE being leading account - If I add my live accoutn all the contacts and calendars are being fetched from there and synced live.
But I used to keep all my contacts and calendars at gmail - so I had to add gmail as well - that results in a big mess and you cannot turn your added LIVE account now - you might reset your phone to factory defaults and start again.
so I did and while I want my XBOX LIVE avatar I had to move all my contacts and other email providers to LIVE. I did that but now my default outlook calendar doesnt sync with LIVE calendar and WP7 calendar, and there is now ay to have it fixed...
If only MS would allow to choose what to import from LIVE it would be much better...
5. IE - no JAVA, no comment
MARKETPLACE - we need more quality software there
MAPS - I don't like bing approach, maybe I just have to get used to it ?
SERVICE AVAILABILITY - MS you need to start working hard and deliver solutions NOW!
It should not happen that only supported regions during the premiere are UK and US - your services like marketplace or zune don't work in many countries, XBOX Live is not supported in Poland, although there are tens of thousands of xbox360 sold here. I am afraid MS has to rethink their policies and this will be the main factor of WP7 success or fail.
I do not touch areas like multitasking, copy/paste and some other basics that should already be available in updates.
Just realized: Someone's actually made an app for submitting and voting for already submitted ideas for improvements to WP7. It's called "My WP7 Idea", and yes, it already contains my favourite ideas. USE IT!
... and please vote for this feature:

I don't like this thread being mixed wp7 and omnia specific features. wp7 features should go into the wp7 forum.
the omnia should get an app to turn on and off the led for flashlight purposes. other phones have that.
